CRJ Increased Pitch Moments Before Crash
Investigators said a traffic advisory was also audible in the flight deck. (airlinegeeks.com) More...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
A YouTuber who goes by the name SnakPak, who is apparently a Blackhawk pilot (I cannot completely confirm it), appears to agree with this and surmises that the helicopter hit the left wing of the CRJ as it turned and banked away from the threat as it tried to gain altitude. This is due to the fact that the plane did a barrel roll with the right wing going up and over (nav light on right wing still illuminated) before impacting the water. This can be seen in the leaked DCA security camera video.
Here is the video I am referencing. "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdlDboE1zfI"
